In this deeply personal episode, Jori sits down with her cousin Casey to share the heartbreaking story of losing her brother, Jeff, to fentanyl poisoning. Jeff’s journey was marked by his battle with schizophrenia, a struggle that led him to self-medicate in an attempt to cope. Casey opens up about the challenges Jeff faced, the impact of mental illness on their family, and the devastating reality of the fentanyl crisis.
This conversation sheds light on the urgent need for mental health awareness, addiction support, and fentanyl education. By sharing Jeff’s story, we honor his memory and work toward breaking the stigma surrounding mental illness and substance use. 💜
If you or someone you love is struggling with mental illness or addiction, help is available.
